3,000 malnourished children at risk of ‘dying before their families’ eyes’: Unicef

“Almost 3,000 children have been cut off from treatment for moderate and severe acute malnutrition in southern Gaza, putting them at risk of death as harrowing violence and displacement continue to impact access to healthcare facilities and services for desperate families,” the UN’s agency for childrens’ relief says in a statement.

“Horrific images continue to emerge from Gaza of children dying before their families’ eyes due to the continued lack of food, nutrition supplies, and the destruction of healthcare services,” said UNICEF Regional Director for the Middle East and North Africa Adele Khodr.

“UNICEF has more nutrition supplies prepositioned to arrive in the Gaza Strip, if access allows,” she added.
